Our stock is almost exclusively English, Scottish or Irish. Occasionally we have a few collectors’ pieces from the Channel Islands or of Continental origin
but we do not stock American silver. In addition, our historical and commemorative medals are predominantly British.

Our silver is of the highest quality, age and rarity permitting. All blemishes are carefully detailed.

Grading Standards for Medals

As Struck – As Issued – Mint State

All three of these terms are self explanatory and describe medals which have scarcely been handled at all.

E.F Extremely Fine

Medals in this grade have been handled but do not show any obvious sings of wear.

Apart form a few minor scratched, their condition appears to be more or less as it was when they were made.

V.F Very Fine

Medals in this grade would still be acceptable to a collector. The wear on the medals would be limited to the
high spots and the details of the rest of the medal would all be clear.

E – Fine

Noticeable sings of wear would be evident over the entire surface of these medals. On the high spots, fine details
such as hair, lace etc. Might be entirely worn away.

Sometimes the terms "about" Or "nearly" used to show that the condition of a medal is almost up to the next fixed
grade but not quite. So, for example, a medal might be described as being "nearly extremely fine".

Toning is believed to improve a medal and so toned medal should be described as such. This is why medals should
never be cleaned, only washed. On the other hand edge knocks, discoloration, corrosion, dents, scratches and any
other disfiguration should all be mentioned. Also, if a pierced or if the piercing has been plugged, this should
also be mentioned.
